What's Happening to Disco?

[Malaclypse 666]

Oh, should I?

Yes.

I would venture that many of you are convinced that Discordianism is indeed a "joke disguised as a religion".

But, inherent in the joke are some precepts and observations that sombunall will recognize as having some truth.

A word on "Balancing the Chao":

Discordian philosophers have observed a process which can be summed up thusly:

Imposition of Order = Escalation of Chaos

and conversely,

Escalation of Chaos = Imposition of Order

Do not worry. This process seems to be naturally-occurring, and for the most part self-regulating.

The extremes of this "wobble" in the Chao are of course more evident than the overall effect of maintaining a balance between Order and Chaos.

We are currently experiencing one of those extremes. But which one? Well, it's sort of like quantum physics. The observer determines the outcome of the observations. Sort of like Meiun. He has observed our environment from his "tunnel reality", and finds it good. Other s have grasped anothe part of the elephant, and found it disconcerting.

My advice would be to kick back. Work on your own "tunnel reality", rather than trying to impose either Chaos or Order on your neighbor's. And did someone mention "common sense"? Generously applied, you will find that it works wonders.
